It's almost as if efficiency and cost savings weren't actually the point.

It never has been.

For some reason people just took Republicans word that their issue was taxes paying for stuff.

They just don't want the stuff, they already pay essentially nothing in taxes, but they still want to burn the government down because without a government the oligarchs control everything.
